Prediction Sporting Charleroi vs Anderlecht 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Pro League on 24/10/2025

Match outlook and context

A brisk autumn evening in Charleroi promises sparks when Sporting Charleroi host Anderlecht at the Stade du Pays de Charleroi on 24 October 2025. On paper this looks like a clash of momentum and quality: Charleroi sit 12th and are scrambling to find consistency, while Anderlecht occupy a lofty third and bring the sort of attacking volume that tends to decide tight Pro League encounters. Referee Lawrence Visser will be in charge of a fixture that carries more than three points for both sides — for Charleroi it is about arresting a worrying run, for Anderlecht it is about consolidating a top-three position early in the season.

Form, recent results and statistical edge

Charleroi’s recent sequence reads sour: a run peppered with more defeats than victories has left them with just three wins from eleven, and their home numbers underline the struggle. They have managed only a single clean sheet and have conceded seven at home; the team’s attacking output has been modest, with 14 goals in 11 matches. Their last outing ended in a 3-1 reverse to Union Saint-Gilloise, where Étienne Camara emerged as their standout performer despite the defeat.

Anderlecht arrive with steadier form and more firepower. Fifth in total shots and comfortably ahead in shots on target, they produce a higher volume of danger and convert that into results more often than Charleroi. Their away record shows resilience — five clean sheets already this campaign — and recent fixtures illustrate a side that can grind out points even when not at their fluent best, exemplified by a 2-2 draw away at Sint-Truiden where Thorgan Hazard posted the match best rating.

Tactically the stats paint a clear narrative. Anderlecht push more attacks and create more chances; they average more corners and register significantly more shots inside the box. Charleroi’s danger exists, but it has been intermittent and costly at the back. Head-to-head history tilts towards Anderlecht too, with the most recent meeting ending 1-0 in their favour this season.

Match dynamics to expect

Expect Anderlecht to control phases of the match through superior chance creation, probing Charleroi’s defense and attempting to exploit transitions. Charleroi will look to make their home crowd count with counter opportunities and set-piece moments, but sustaining intensity for 90 minutes has been an issue. The likely script is an Anderlecht side that dictates possession and piles up shots on goal while Charleroi chases chances and looks vulnerable to a quick strike or two.

Betting suggestion

For punters weighing up the options on this Pro League clash, the recommendation is to back Anderlecht in the 1X2 market. The away side’s form, superior chance metrics and defensive solidity away from home combine with the bookmaker quote of 2.30 to offer a balanced value play. It’s a selection grounded in the numbers: Anderlecht’s ability to create and protect leads contrasts with Charleroi’s recent defensive frailties and lack of consistent home dominance. As always, stake responsibly and factor in the unpredictable nature of derby-city pressure under the Charleroi lights.
